Mr.. CHmCOTT:
De4r Sr.-Yours by Mr. Tracy, asking
about the shooting Of crows by Mr. T. l..
Hill. j. received A. Mr.. Hill does not
claim to be an expert at shooting, or seem
10 be inclined to tell good story, and as
| was concerned in the shooting. | will,
with his permission furnish you with the
facts.
Between the years $50 and 1860 crows
were very plentiful and troublesome. 1t
was found that the hanging up of dead
crows around the corn had good effect
in frightening live ones away: so Mr..
Hill concluded TO try his hand at shooting
crows He had a barn some distance from
his dwelling house used for the storage of
hay and grain. Early in the spring the
crows were very hungry and would
venture near the barn to pick up
kernels of grain in the chaff near
the door Mr. Hill noticed them
and concluded to give them a little
extra feed which he did by strewing
wheat and oats the distance of a gun shot
from the barn. The crows were very
much pleased and soon gathered in large
numbers. inviting all their neighbors TO
Join in the feast, but, forgetting not that
there was danger, they kept guard post
ed near the barn, in a tall tree, to see that
no one entered the back door. The only
way. therefore, was to go into the barn be-
fore daylight as the crow is an early bird
i IL 4
the birds gathered around bang went the
gun. Twenty black crows were killed at
a single shot Mr.. Hill continued shoot
ing crows for number of springs. The
largest number at single shot was twenty.
He did this four times; fired with him
once and we picked up twenty-seven killed,
making I07 crows killed at 6 shots.
Yours respectfully,
J. L. SMALL.

The rejection of so many teachers at the
public examination last Friday, has been
the chief topic of conversation during the
week. The people were surprised and in
dignant, and many expressed their feelings
in language not suitable for polite ears.
understand that about one-half of the teach
ers were refused certificates to teach the
primary schools of this town; some of
those rejected have been successful teach
ers for years, have passed satisfactory ex-
aminations and received certificates of
high grade from the supervisors of this
and adjoining towns. l think that the
general opinion of the people now is that
ii will be better to suspend their judgment
and attach no blame to the school COM
mittee until they see whether some ar
rangement will not be made to give the
girls another opportunity to write ne
gOtiaJle note and tell what to do with
drowned man. The opinion is pretty free
lv expressed that if a satisfactory solution
of the question is not reached, the girls
will have the privilege of holding an in
quest over some drowned men on the first
Monday in next March.
understand that several agents refuse
to hire any more teachers until they ascer-
tain how the matter will terminate. have
written so much in simple justice to the
young women of this and adjacent towns,
who for several years, have devoted their
whole time to the purpose of obtaining an
